MMA Series heavyweight champion Dimitriy Andryushko praised Alexander Volkov's performance at UFC 333 and shared his thoughts on the Russian heavyweight's chances of securing a UFC title shot.

"It was a great, hard-fought win. I honestly think his prospects are huge. The key is whether UFC officials are willing to make the title fight happen. They just keep putting it off," Andryushko told MMA-TV.COM in an exclusive interview.

Volkov defeated Rizvan Kuniev by unanimous decision at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on Oct. 24, extending his winning streak to three fights. The Russian heavyweight currently sits at No. 2 in the UFC heavyweight rankings and remains a strong contender for a title shot.
